Made with shredded lamb, Forage and Feast Passata, fresh leeks and carrots, and topped with a crispy layer of new potatoes, our Shepherd’s Pie recipe is full of flavour and showcases the best of each ingredient. Dating back to the early 1800s, this classic comfort dish is elevated in our recipe with whole lamb as opposed to mince, and the addition of flavour-enhancing red or white wine with Sicilian-style passata, decadent melted butter and a crust of golden new potatoes instead of mash.  Tuck into our tasty Shepherd’s Pie recipe today!
